Palm Sunday In San Miguel de Allende

Today is Palm Sunday and a busy time in the main plaza, the jardin, in San Miguel de Allende. It is one of my favorite days to stroll around the jardin. Children and indigenous people have come to town to sell intricately woven palm fronds.

This woman had some of the most interesting pieces. I bought a string of fish from her that is just so beautifully woven.

Temporary displays in front of the Parroquia church.

The creativity is just so amazing.

And yes, I bought this pretty woven piece. He was just beaming, obviously very proud of his work. Check out each person's works. I guarantee you will find a new and different piece that you have never seen before.
